This map is the result of four workshops that took place at Myatt’s Fields Park Project in spring 2014. The map represents the origins of the participants, who come from Caribbean and African countries. It also shows the global influences and history surrounding Caribbean food.

Food has been at the heart of this project. Cooking and eating together has stirred many memories. Perhaps the forgotten name of a fruit, of being ‘back home’ or first arriving in the UK. The participants have been incredibly generous in sharing their knowledge, sense of fun and amazing cooking. Without their input, the project would have been impossible.

We hope you enjoy this map and it inspires you to find out more about Caribbean food, people and history.

The sessions were not traditional cookery classes, where you learn different dishes from a teacher. In our sessions, theparticipants learnt from each other. Conversations around, over, during and after food were an important ingredient.
